Manchester United midfielder Schweinsteiger defends Van Gaal

“I look at Anthony Martial and worry for him”, wrote Parker. “The body language of the players isn’t right, and there’s no expression when they go out to play”.

The Red Devils’ players, too, it is claimed are equally unhappy.

Yes van Gaal’s first responsibility is to the team and getting Manchester United back challenging for titles again.

Another factor in United’s haste to secure a successor to Van Gaal is their own recent history, having gone through major turmoil when they made the apparent panic-appointment of David Moyes in 2013 after Sir Alex Ferguson left the club and retired from football.

Scholes said, “the fans want to see attacking football and goals-that’s the Manchester United way”, per ESPN FC.

What Van Gaal is doing seems to be beneficial for the club long-term wise, but fans not staying patience could mean he could get the sack and the long-term plan will not be completed successfully.

Stats above show Manchester United are becoming the most boring team in the league and it seems to be a surprise that they are still third in the league and only a point from first place.

Van Gaal and Schweinsteiger enjoyed tremendous success in Munich. The potentially damaging trend certainly begun under Fergie of course, but Louis van Gaal has nonetheless continued the pattern without really giving much second thought towards another alternative option for his captain to consider.

Memphis is in a precarious situation – he undoubtedly needs time to develop his game but fans may turn against him if his poor performances continue. “Of course you have more responsibility on the pitch as well in that position”.

“The form Memphis Depay is showing hasn’t just happened because he’s playing in the Premier League”.

When the long-arm of top-flight criticism proved unable to catch up with the explosive exploits of Wayne Rooney just a handful of short seasons ago – the bustling centre-forward could seemingly do no wrong among the Premier League. “Maybe we then have to change – and when they have good arguments, we change”.
